The only thing I miss from my old neighbourhood is the proximity to the best vegetable shops in Norway. Except from that there’s not much to miss: numerous rapes, lots of drunk people every weekend, cargo trains passing by the house…
The area where we live now is more calm and kids friendly.

My ground floor neighbor woke up one morning with a thief in her living room, twice my attic storage was burgled. One night I woke up and chased away some guy that was trying to break into the building, another time our neighbors from Poland chased a bike thief. That’s daily life in the slums of Oslo: junkies, gypsies and imported criminals.
There’s also a lot of rapes, robberies and pick pocketing.
